Peach, peach, and peach. Even the super-juicy texture reminds me of peach. This wine has great mineral (that means unexplanable part of the palate) that gives round and thick but not sticky, almost jelly-like mouthfeel. Bone-dry, feels like all the sugar out of peach is converted into mineral and beautiful flowerly length. It makes me think of mixture of exceptional champagne blanc de noir after the bubbles are gone and truly delicious condrieu at the same time.

I totally agree with the liquefied peach skins note, particularly on the nose. The palate has a bit of stone fruit, some Rainier cherry, a touch of citrus zest, and lots of minerality. I think Abe's description perhaps overstates the acidity- it's there but light, the minerals are what really show. All said, a restrained but structured wine.

Yellow color with a faint pink tinge. Interesting, fruity, brown sugar bouquet and flavor. Pleasant wine.

Soft, a little flabby, generally uninteresting. Thankfully only 12.5% abv.
